Inspire - Be Inspired

Well I don’t know about the rest of the web world but I’m in a constant state of arousal - ahem, excuse me, I mean I feel inspired a lot of the time. But it’s not emanating from an empty vessel - inspiration needs some challenge or nourishment. I read a book or listen to an interesting provocative discussion on radio and it sets off a thought or a feeling that I then need to ACT upon. This generates something new (like a song in my case) that adds into the circle of ideas. As a direct example of this circular e-motion I wrote 2 more verses and a chorus to Hugh’s “She’ll eat you for breakfast” - Why? I felt inspired!Personally I get a lot of inspiration-mileage out of real life stories and biographies - I connect to other peoples creative struggles and it gives me hope to continue on the ‘un-mapped way’, the uncharted territory Artist’s and creator’s voyage across in search of the Muse.Because once the Muse has breathed her sweet soul message into your heart - we are hooked and seek to be inspired anew.Koan: Did I leave the cubicle or did the cubicle leave me?

This must be just a gratuitous excuse to write some filthy words in LAUGHJOHNLAUGHS! Blog-

I was researching this because the words of my first ever single -

"Does my bum look big in this? " contains the word 'ass' in a line in the third verse.

"Ohh please tell me baby do you like my ASS?"
which is a fair relationship question imo ...but my G/f says in church circles it is likely regarded as lewd or crude .. hmm I hadn't realized. So here is some interesting material derived from a quick search on the topic - using the search terms 'is the word ass in lyrics considered explicit' I got some information about the 7 dirty words or seven naughty or filthy words - whatever they may be titled.

However if I publish the 7 naughty words in full then I need to mark my blog as explicit which is a shame - so may need to write a tamer version without the highly charged naughty/dirty words. Anyway basically the good news is as follows: I don't need to …

January 2018 Fuck You 'YouTube'
I hate corporate
speak. YouTube Letter says in effect 'hey we are keeping even more money
for ourselves!' and 'we are doing this for our advertisers! But they
dont say that - it's opposite speak. See some excerpts below.
Google YouTube are doing this for our advertisers.
Last Tuesday they YouTube tell small creators and musicians like me fuck you and
your channel. Not that I even ever got any money from them in the first
place, but now they move the creator carrot even further away from the donkeys mouth and the stick of iniquity beats on.
Follow the money - they are doing it for the adverts. They had the
worst rate of royalty on music anyway and it makes no financial
difference really cause they keep the money but likely will lose a
variety of creative tools like custom thumbnails that brought some
ingenuity and creative flair to their standard random thumbs. It means
if you are in a stream your thumbnail image ju…

A dream within a nightmare
Did you ever have a dream - a bus journey from hell. The bus driver has a "dangerous mental disorder". The driver-in-chief shouts at all the passengers that he is in charge, he doesn't need a route, his gut tells him the way.

Day one he said without training that "I know more about buses than anyone who ever drove a bus" even though he had no training.

Somehow he has put a hex on the bus company and they are afraid to fire him or take the keys back.

He gibbers wild 'n' scary threats over the PA continuously about the wrong people getting onto his special bus. His is "the greatest" bus ride ever. You are "gonna be sick of this bus" he says gleefully jabbering on in his red hat about making bus tours great again.
